2014 Pirelli Calendar features Miranda Kerr

The next edition of the legendary calendar will feature the famous faces – and bodies – of Miranda Kerr, Helena Christensen, Karolina Kurkova, Alex Wek, Isabeli Fontana and Alessandra Ambrosio.

Pirelli has released some preview images, and a video going behind the scenes of the shoot, with the calendar itself due to be released in November.

The preview shots for the calendar – which marks its 50th anniversary in 2014 – has a more subtle sexuality than in some previous editions, with the models clad in white shirts and black sweaters. The teasers were created by 'Cal' alumni Shot photopgrahers Patrick Demarchelier and Peter Lindbergh in New York, but the photographer for the real calendar shots is yet to be revealed.

Last year's calendar was shot by Steve McCurry – famed for the 1985 National Geographic cover of a green-eyed Afghan girl -- who shot the 2013 Pirelli Calendar in Brazil with the models all fully clothed. The calendar featured Karlie Kloss, Summer Rayne, Isabeli Fontana, Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, Liya Kibede, Kyleigh Kuhn and a heavily pregnant Adriana Lima, all chosen because of their high-profile involvement with charities.
